Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is here seen as I looked west from Cook's Dock Road on the west side of Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada, just after sunset on October 13, 2024. It was last seen by Neanderthals 80,000 years ago. I had to wait for some time for the sky to get dark enough to see it, which I finally did through binoculars. Gradually, I could snap photos of it and the thin layers of clouds didn't move at all so, mercifully, didn't obscure my view.
